The BIRMAN E3IPIItE, the most extensive Go vernment in India, which is subject to one so verign authority, includes (taking Assam into the account) 1750 geographical miles in length, and 800 in breadth, extending from the, 9th to the 28th degrees of north latitude, and from the 92d to the 104th of east longitude. On the north, it is bounded by Tibet, on the south, by the In dian Ocean and the territory of Siam ; the Em pire of China skirts its north east frontier, Cam bodia stretches along its eastern verge, and the west is terminated by, the Tiperah mountains and the river Nauf. The number of square miles comprised in this empire is estimated at 194,000 exclusive of Assam), containing Ave, Arracan, Pegu, Martabau, Tenasserim, Junkseylon, Mergni, Tabay, Yunshan, Lowashen, and Cassay. It is said to contain 8,000 cities, towns, and vil lages, without including Arracan. The popula tion has been estimated by Colonel Symea at 17 millions ; but Captain Cox, who succeeded him at the Birman Court, estimates it at only half that mintier. The chief rivers are the Irawaddy, the Kenduem, the Lokiang, and the Pegu ; and the chief towns, Ummerapoor, the capital; Ave, the ancient capital ; Munchaboo, the birth place of Alompra ; Pegu, Rangoon, Syriam, Prome, Negrais, Persaim, and Chagaing. The climate is healthy, the seasons being regular, and ex tremes of heat and cold seldom experienced. The intense heat which precedes the rains is so very short in its continuance, that the inconve nience is trifling. In many parts the soil is fer tile. lice, in the south, yields abundant crops ; and in the north, wheat, and the various kinds of small grain, and leguines which grow in Bin dostan, flourish. Sugar canes, tobacco, indigo, cotton, and the different tropical fruits, are indi genous. Although the tea-plant flourishes near Ummerapoor, it yields scarcely any flavour. — The teak tree grows here in great abundance, and also every other kind of timber which grows in India. There are mines of gold and silver, rubies, and sapphires, iron, tin, lead, antimony, arsenic, sulphur, &c. Amethysts, garnets, beautiful chrysolite*, jasper, amber, and marble, are also found here ; and the wells are here which produce petroleum oil. — With China, the Birmaus carry oa an extensive trade. Cotton, umber, ivory, precious stones, be tel-nut, and edible nests, are transported up the river Irawaddy, in large boats, as far as Bamoo; where they are bartered at the jee or mart, with the Chinese merchants, for raw and wrought silks, velvets, gold,leaf, preserves, paper, and some utensils of hardware. The British in India have been in the practice of importing to Ma dras and Calcutta, from the Birman deminions, teak timber, to the amount of nearly a million of dollars annually, Which they have paid for in English broad-cloth, hardware, coarse Bengal muslins, glass, Cossimbazur silks, cocoa nuts, &c. The Birmans, like the Chinese, have no coin ; silver, in bullion, and lead, being the currency of the country, and the value of these being re gulated by artificial standards, fluCtuates so con tinually, that foreigners are obliged to entrust their affairs to native bankers. Thee value of rice at that capital is 56 cents for 84 pounds ; but at purchased for that s it u u m noo . g rr n h 2 e s re o p is ou s t: i d d s tnonteyx:sl great similarity between the court' of Ave and Pekin, especially as regards titles and ()sten tatioUS spl en dour. The Birruan Emperor, like the sovereign o f Chino, acknowledges no equal. Amongst his title's are.- the Sovereign of the Earth, the Emperor of Ern" perors, the Sovereign etAceitied for riches and happiness, the Monarch of eleph a nts a nd horieb and all good things, the Lord of high-..built palaces, of gold, esc..Stc. There am no lieredi ; tary dignities, but rank hs designated by the num ber of gold chains vs hioch are worn. The king wears '24 chains, mid his printo mioister It ; and •i the other nobles created fur life, or during office, weer different numbers, down to 3, w hich de note the loWest order of nobility. One tenth of all produce is exacted as the revenue of the crown ; but 'the *Mount varies so much that no average can be estimated. The Emperor, however, is understood to be immensely Heti ; every man in the kingdom is held liable to military duty when called upon ; but the standing army in time of peace s has been very small. It is evident, however, from the numbers they here brought into ties field during the war now existing, that they cati swell their army to a very considerable force. Of weir boats, the EMperor is said to have 500, carrying each from 40 to 50 rowers, so soldiets with , muskets, and a piece of ordnance on the . prdw . There is is great contrast between the Birmans and the Ha tives of - Indlat the former being lively,Mouisitive, active, irascible, and impatient ; while their lieu- gal neighbOnrs are exactly the reverse of all these. In Am, the females are not concealed from the . sight of men; but they are treated in a manner irreuencileable either with delicacy or humenity. Their women are sold to strangers, but this pur chase does not authorize the carrying of them out of the country ; they are never permitted to emi grate. 'The men pluck out their beards by the routs, and both sexes colour their teeth, their eye-lashes, and the edges of their eyelids, black. Polygamy is prohibited by law,, but concubinage, to an unlimited extent, is admitted. The Bir mans bury the dead ; they are iu their food gross and uncleanly ; even reptiles being eaten by the lower classes. The sitting posture is considered the most respectful. Their houses are raised on wooden posts, or bamboos, generally composed of bamboos and mats, and but indifferently thatched ; but their temples are splendid fabrics, glittering with .gold.—There is one of these splendid erections, built on arising ground above 'Rangoon, which is ascended by 100 Megnificent steps. Terraces are cut round the summit of the hill, and planted with rows of trees, whose rich foliage gives a fine effect to the lofty spires of the temple which rise above it. The centre spire, which is the tallest, is crowned at the top with a sort of cap, in the form of an umbrella, which, US well as the spire itself, is richly guilt, and glitters beautifully in the sunshine. The great temple at Pegu !luau° less than 100 tall spires, all richly gilt ; and, at a distance, they seem like a forest of gold ; whence the temple derives its name, beiug stalled the Golden Temple. The centre spire, with the cap, or umbrella, is 56 feet in circutn ference. It is called the Tee ; and round its . rims are hung numerous small bells, which keep up such a continual sound, that the Tee is heard,. night and day, at a considerable distance. Gold is the type of excellence among the !linnet's. Every thing belonging to the sovereign has the word shoe, or gold prefixed to it. When a sub-' ject means to affirm that the king has heard any thing, he says—" It has reached the golden ears ;" he 'who has obtained admittance to the royal presence, has beeo at " the golden feet ;" what pleases the sight is delightful to c' the gol den eye ;" and what gratifies the sense of smell ing is pleasing to " the golden nose." The palace of the Emperor, in the city of Usnmerapoor, is a large stone building, with four gates. Its Past entrance is Ca lied the golden gate; its west, 'the ' gate of favour ; its south, the gate of justice; and its north, the gate of state. When the English Ambassadors went there, they entered at the gol den gate, and passed through different superb apartments to the hall of audience, which was supported by 77 pillars. ,At. the end of it is a hi g h g ilded lattice, which conceals the throne. O n hi s Majesty's arrival, the folding doors of this lattice were thrown open. The throne is richly carved and gilded ; and two tables stand near it, covered with large vessels and or naments of gold. The Emperor seemed scarcely able to ascend the flight of steps' that leads to his seat, from the weight of his dress.— He literally appeared, to be cased in gold, with a wing of the same metal on each shoulder. His crown was a high cap, richly studded with pre. cious stones, and his fingers were covered with rings. Four priests, in long robes, chaunted u song at the foot of the throne, and the numerous officers of state were dressed in rich silks. Ilia Majesty is the sole proprietor of all the elephants in his dominions. It is a great honour to be per mitted to ride on one.. Male elephants are prised beyond females in Avn, although in ilindoston ' the fenmuks are in more estitoutioe, on account of, their superior docility.
